Mongolian "vertical" script is still in use in Inner Mongolia (China). Apparently with democritization there is renewed interest in it in Mongolia, in preference to the Cyrillic. Vertical script is derived from the Uighir (Chinese Turkestan) vertical script, in turn derived from Sogdian. It's sort of like Devanagari (Sanskrit) sideways,. Both are from North Semitic alphabets. bi oros baixgui bi oyuutan baene
